Can't get rid of nock-high

[mountman12]

I have been going through some serious tuning issues lately with my Schafer Silvertip. No matter what i do my arrow flies nock high. I have tried moving the nock point all over the place with no luck whatsoever. Left and right seems to be just fine but that nock flies high every darn time. I checked the tiller on the bow and the top limb has positive tiller(I believe this is correct tiller for a split fingered shooter?) Any suggestions about what I can try? My specs are 60" 57# @29" arrows are goldtip heavy hunters 100 grain insert and 175 grain tip. Does high FOC cause nock high flight? Any information is much appreciated.

How are you determining nock high? Bareshaft? Shooting through paper? If so - at what distance? High FOC will make no difference in nock orientation. Is this a new problem? Very often when nock high flight does not respond to nocking point changes the cause can be traced to release or string hand problems.

Are you shooting off an elevated rest or off the shelf

what's the spine on those GT heavy hunters?
What's your draw length and shaft length?

hey guys sorry for the late response but elk season took me away for awhile:)

I am bareshaft tuning from about 20yrds and yes this is a new problem for me. I am shooting off the shelf. My draw length is 29" the arrows are cut at 31 3/8" and the spine is 7595/300.

Generally speaking, false nock high for a split finger shooter is caused by downward pressure of your index finger on the arrow shaft.  This causes a downward bend in the arrow at full draw, which rebounds up when the arrow is shot.  The remedy is to draw straight back on the arrow rather than at an upward angle.  Your string elbow could be too high, or you could be drawing with your arms rather than your back.

If you are happy with your shooting, and don't want to change anything, just set the nock point high enough that you're sure the nock high is true nock high and not caused by deflection of the arrow shaft.  Probably 5/8" for a split finger shooter should do it.

Good advice above. If you still can't get good flight try traising your brace height about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Worked for me when I had the same problem

try to add a second nocking point under the nock, it helped me with the same issue, i shoot three under though.
